    Useless Dev[^]:

    Over-engineering, as I now understand it, is: Building functionality that is not required.

    YAGNI (maybe, add it anyway to be safe)

      I don’t want to ignore the fact that writing simple, easy-to-understand, well-tested code is hard. It’s a skill that i still haven’t mastered, 15 years in.

      At least is realistic and honest

      But if we don’t face this difficult challenge now, we’ll end facing the impossible challenge of changing an over-engineered mess.

      It could be worse... it could be an overenineered mess coded in vb6 :laugh:

      M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
